Yorglass Honored at the Women-Friendly Brands Platform Awards
Yorglass, the trusted global supplier in the glass industry, continues to place diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at the heart of its corporate culture. In recognition of its pioneering initiatives, the company has been awarded the Women-Friendly Brands 2025 Awareness Award. Yorglass Board Member Merve Yorgancılar Işıtmak expressed her pride in adding this achievement to the company’s long list of milestones, emphasizing their continued commitment to setting an example in gender equality across the sector.
For more than half a century, Yorglass has been producing with respect for both people and the environment. Reinforcing its mission through strategic initiatives, the company established a dedicated DEI Committee to promote equal opportunities in the workplace. Its comprehensive approach to gender equality has now been recognized by the Women-Friendly Brands Platform. With diversity, equity, and inclusion embedded in its work culture, Yorglass received the Women-Friendly Brands 2025 Awareness Award in the category of Women’s Employment and Equal Opportunity at Work.
“We champion women’s greater participation in business”
Commenting on the award, Merve Yorgancılar Işıtmak, Board Member of Yorglass, said:
“It is possible to build a world where we no longer need to defend equality between women and men—and it is our shared responsibility to create that future for the next generations. At Yorglass, we are committed to empowering women in the workplace and advancing equal opportunities. With this vision, we have made diversity, equity, and inclusion central to our corporate culture and ensured their sustainability through our DEI Committee.
Especially through our #EveryVoiceIsEqual approach, we encourage more women to participate in the business world while fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace culture. Since 2021, we have also been a signatory of the UN Global Compact’s Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), one of the most important global initiatives supporting women’s advancement in business.
This Women-Friendly Brands Awareness Award is a clear reflection of the steps we are taking for a fairer and more equal future. It adds to previous milestones, such as becoming the first company in our sector to earn the ‘Equal Opportunity for Women at Work’ Certification. We will continue to carry these achievements forward into new projects, strengthening our efforts both within the company and with our external stakeholders to ensure women have greater representation in business.”
